Spot on!
I get this secret society feeling with other NTs. It's like having a code that the others are not allowed into. Verbal acrobatics, slap-stick comedy, topics that only interest us (and I think it's everything but the celebrity gossip), instant connection even with the minimum interaction.
For me this is only really true with the ENTP/INTP dynamic. Instantaneous connection. Meeting another ENTP makes me feel normal....
ENTJ and INTJ...although we get along really well it's not the same initial connection.
A little derailment but allow me to give a little ENTP love here (it's for a good cause!)
Having someone who can laugh with you at the most macabre, dark humor imaginable and not apologize is priceless. Someone who can understand your ideas before you've even finished explaining? Awesome.
Example of a mentally inspired INTP during a conversation with average person: thoughts/ideas/connections are happening way too fast in my brain to translate that to my mouth to speak clearly and by the time I
can speak clearly....fuck it who cares I figured it out....it wasn't that great of a thought. What? You want me to explain it anyway? Ugh...now I'm bored and this conversation has become tedious.
ENTP's will get the gist of what INTP is trying to say with the few sputtering, random words that do initially escape our mouths. They end up not only interrupting our thought stream halfway (preventing us from hitting the killswitch button). They end up finishing our ideas and saying them back to us more clearly than we think it! For that ENTP's are awesome!
Okay. For the OP....How to spot an NT...they derail threads!
(I'm pulling this out of my ass...is it working??)
